f ; THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., April 30, 1070—6-C Dear Sally Quietly, Politely BY SALLY SHAW DEAR SALLY: Last night I took a very lovely girl to a very exclusive restaurant, and at the end of the meal I was handed a check on which I Im mediately noticed an error in addition, an overcharge of $3. Rather than create a scene in front of my date, however, I said nothing and paid the bill. Now I’m having second thoughts about this, I'm thinking it was stupid of me to shell out $3 too much on a bill that was al ready very high. What do you Say? TAKEN DEAR TAKEN: You’re right ... it WAS stupid! With out creating any scene at all, you were in perfect right to call the waiter’s attention to the error . . . quietly and po litely. DEAR SALLY: Will you please offer some good advice to a young girl who is exceed ingly shy and tongue-tied and never seems to be able to car ry on a conversation with young men? Some of the long, silent periods during the dates I’m lucky enough to have are plain torture: SPEECHLESS. DEAR SPEECHLESS: You probably don’t have enough in terests to draw from. Read more, and take stock of the subjects you do know which are endless sources of conversa tion . . . movies, TV, sports, community events. Also, a good conversationalist is a good lis tener. Draw your dates out with questions about things you hap pen to know they are interested in, and they’ll be certain to say things which will provoke re marks from you. DEAR SALLY: My husband and I recently moved into a very nice apartment building. The °nly thing about our new setup which annoys us is the habit of the neighbor across the hall from us who is always draping articles of laundry over the stairway railing to dry. This is a very unattractive sight not only to us, but to any guests who call on us. I’ve hinted something about this to the neighbor, but without suc cess. Is there anything else we can do? MRS. V. DEAR MRS. V.: Since the ap pearance of the corridors is one of the responsibilities of the building manager or land lord, aim your hints in that direction. DEAR SALLY: I’m a young man who has been dating a girl whom he likes very much, but who is the possessive type and who has been spreading rumors that she and I are inseparable. I’m not yet ready for anything permanent, so how do I remove her clutches without removing her as well? IN A CORNER. DEAR CORNER: Try dating another girl or two and taking them places where you’U be seen by other friends. Make sure she sees you with other girls, too, if you want her to get the picture. But keep on being nice to her and dating her as always. NOTE TO LIZA: At 27, you are more than old enough to make your own decision about your own life. Tell your pa rents firmly of your plans to marry this man and that you hope earnestly it will be with their blessings -- but either with or without, the marriage is on.

Farm Bureau Women, Secretaries Meet Here W*iTl TIP One tool that should be in every home is a plumber’s plunger — a bell-shaped rub ber cup mounted on a wood en handle In the case of a slopped-up sink drain, place the open plunger over the drain opening, with enough water to cover the edge of the plunger so it makes a seal all around Work the plunger up and down.

German, Measles German measles and “reg ular" measles are running a race in South Carolina to de termine which disease can first reach epidemic proportions ac cording to the State Board of Health. State Health Officer Dr. E. Kenneth Aycock said most of the race during April has been taking place in Richland and An derson Counties. Forty cases of German measles and 30 of “re gular” measles have been re ported this month by physicians In Richland County. Anderson doctors have reported 57 cases of German measles and 14 of “regular” measles. “Actually we are already ex periencing mild epidemics of both diseases,” Dr. Aycock commented. What can South Carolinians do to avert major epidemics? “They can take their children to their family doctor or coun ty health department for im munizations. Only two shots are needed - one for each disease.” Although the German measles vaccine was not licensed until June, 1969 fourteen S. C. coun ties have already completed mass campaigns and others are planning them. To date, 303 cases of German Regular' Racing measles have been reported in the Palmetto State this year. There were 306 last year. The total of “regular” or “red” measles cases reported so far this year has doubled that for last year. In 1969, 130 cases and two deaths were re corded. This year’s total is 272. Li Blackwell Completes Course Second Lieutenant William Robert Blackwell, 22, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Black- well of 115 E.
